Summer Meditation for August 12 2023

Still plenty warm and humid in so many areas around the World !!!  As we know, this can be very stressful,  The result may be that we are irritable or anxious, not sleeping as well, grumpy or grouchy, or just plain ol miserable !!!

So, what can we do to shift ourselves out of our own personal misery?  How about using a specific breathing practice like a 4:6 breath, or ladder breath?  Or, how about doing a gratitude practice to shift our perception of the world?  Or, how about chanting?

Tina Turner, one of the great vocalists of our era, used chanting to completely rebuild her life following a very challenging early life and early career.  As you probably know, Tina Turner, considered the Queen of "rock 'n roll" became a Buddhist.  She was introduced to Nichiren Buddhism and began chanting in 1973.  During interviews, Tina said that Buddhism and chanting helped her rebuild her life and have greater clarity. 

Tina passed on from Earth on May 24, 2023 from her home in Switzerland.  God Bless Tina Turner !!!
